You labeled the first one correctly and the second one should be changed.

- What's causing the people to start shrinking after they’ve lived there for three months? → during reading (correct). It's a clarifying/predictive question about plot causes that the reader would ask while reading.

- Would the ending be different if this had happened on Earth? → after reading. It's an evaluative/comparative question that requires knowing the story's ending and reflecting on how context changes outcomes.
